Digging Deeper- are there questions you’ve always wanted to ask or consider about how your faith impacts your life? Digging Deeper, a new discussion series, could help. Join us and a guest speaker from 5pm on the first Sunday of the month at Holy Trinity Church as together we investigate issues of ethics, current affairs and faith. Teas, coffees and light refreshments will be available.

The book of soup – we’d love to pull together a list of some of our Lent Lunch soup recipes in memory of Dorothy Garside (including her famous Mushroom soup) to sell at the Lent Lunches. If you wish to contribute a recipe, please send it to the Parish Office or Fr Graham.

Ladies group - if you would like to go for afternoon tea at Canalside, Great Haywood on Wednesday 27.2.19 at 2.30 pm, please let Beryl know a.s.a.p so that she can confirm a reservation.

Holy Trinity Keys – our Church Buildings insurer requires us to keep a tight control of, and register of church keys. As part of this process, we have changed the lock for Holy Trinity, and have issued a new key to all those we are aware need a permanent set, however we may not have identified everyone – if that is you please let the Parish Office know. Please do not share or cut copies of any of the church keys without prior authorisation from the Parish Office or Church Wardens as this preaches the terms and conditions of our insurance policies. Temporary keys are available to borrow from the Parish Office for those who need ad-hoc access. We will make changes to All Saints and St Thomas’ shortly.

A Challenge – Year 4 at our school want to challenge us. They have offered to twin one of our church toilets with a toilet in Africa, and are challenging us to raise some of the funds too! If you would like to contribute, we’ll be following them in filling smartie tubes with coins throughout Lent. More details to follow, but please see the letter from Darcey, Isabella and Isabelle for more details.
